Conventional Medicine vs. Holistic: A World of Difference Paperback – December 30, 1999

by Tim O'Shea (Author)

Conventional medicine is only about 100 years old, whereas holistic, natural medicine is as old as human history. This book documents the actual decline in the quality of health for Americans over the past several decades, and provides abundant evidence to implicate the politics and economics of prescription drugs as the main reasons for that decline. People are becoming disillusioned seeing their parents die of the same diseases as their grandparents. Side effects of medicines are now one of the top three causes of death in the U.S. For this reason, people are turning more and more toward natural, holistic alternatives since they are less threatening, less fatal, and less experimental than drugs. Natural medicine works with the body instead of against it. With natural methods, the immune system and the natural recuperative powers of the body are fortified rather than challenged. This book cites references that track the historical progression leading to the p! ! resent crisis we see in the health industry today.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A friend gave me this book. I read it in about an hour or so, and didn't believe it until I started checking the sources in the bibliography. This quirky little book is actually right on the money. The author backs up everything he says. I went out and got a PDR to look up the side efects of some of the drugs my doctor gave me. Now I understand why no one told me about this. This book made me stop and think about what is really going on with my family's health all these years. People should know about this. They should know there is an alternative way to health. -- Michael Tereo

I never understood why chemotherapy is allowed to continue to kill people off year after year until I read this book, and then followed up on the references the author provides. The politics of health in this country is really kept pretty quiet in the media, as far as the FDA's ties with the drug companies, and how doctors aren't taught to do much except prescribe drugs and surgery, and things like that. Everyone should read this book, even if they disagree with it. Because it asks some important questions that aren't getting answered--very disturbing! -- Ross Williams

This simple little book is an eye-opener, and a must-read for anyone who wonders why we keep getting sicker even though more and more drugs keep coming out every year. O'Shea goes through the history of how things got this way in the first place, starting all the way back with Louis Pasteur and then through JD Rockefeller, and the FDA. The book is funny and easy to read. It gives a good introduction to natural medicine, which may be helpful for someone who is beginning to doubt the wisdom of a life on prscription drugs. -- Kathleen Meyer
